Texans use social media to jab at Washington with #SequesterMovieLines

The big day is here. As the sequester buzzer dings, the President and Congressional leaders are making one last-minute effort to muster up a deal at the White House. Though billions of dollars among federal agencies aren’t going to vanish into thin air by the end of today, the across-the-board budget cuts will start to trickle down throughout the coming months.

Meanwhile, Americans seem to be making the best out of the situation. Though a Pew Research poll shows only a quarter of the population is keeping tabs on the sequester situation, many on twitter are poking fun at the dire deadline using the hashtag #SequesterMovieLines.

Many in the Houston-area have joined in too, tweeting their own favorite movie lines with a bit of sequester twist.
